This is my personal blog which I began in February 2001. I called it The Obvious? when I wrote anonymously and chose the name to reflect the fact I have to overcome my inhibitions about stating the obvious!

This morning my daughter was asking us for something "old fashioned" to take to school to be part of a display marking Armistice Day. We asked her what sort of things other kids had taken and she said one of them had taken a DVD.

My wife and I both said "That doesn't sound very old fashioned" to which my daughter replied "No .. one of the big DVD's".
